STUDY IN AUSTRALIA In recent years Australia


has emerged as a bona fide university superpower. Its ‘Group of Eight’ research- intensive universities all made it into the top 100 of the 2009 QS World University Rankings™, with Australian National University (ANU) in Canberra leading the way in 17th position.


What’s more, when it comes to reasons to study abroad in Australia, the renown of the nation’s top universities is only the tip of the iceberg. Consistently found to be one of the world’s leading countries for overall quality of life, with an idyllic climate, it is little surprise that as of 2008 there were over 223,500 international students enrolled at Australian universities, of which 87,553 were graduate students.


Carmel Murphy, executive director of the office of admissions at University of Melbourne, says: “Studying in Australia provides a good many benefits to international students, from high-quality research training to excellent opportunities to work with internationally recognized researchers and opportunities to publish in English- language journals. International


students are also provided with strong support throughout their studies.”


Australian education


Australia has 39 universities that range in size from 3,000 students to 50,000 and offer graduate studies across a complete range of fields. Qualifications include graduate certificates and diplomas, master, master of philosophy (M.Phil),


doctorate and doctor of philosophy (PhD).


The Australian institutions best known to international students are the research-intensive ‘Group of Eight’, or ‘G8’. These eight universities, which feature prominently in international university rankings, account for around 60% of the PhDs awarded in Australia each year.
